Sidebar

I've been feeling a bit under the weather the past few days, some sort of viral infection or another took hold of my body and decided to restrict me to maintaining a horizontal position. Fatigue, muscle aches, fever; the general "works" for this kind of thing. My story is Ebola and I am sticking with it.

I had a few entries working around in the back of my mind, but have had to put them on hold while I shake this thing. Not one to give in fully, I decided to add a few website links as a sidebar item that point to places I visit frequently or just plain admire. So here is the run down on what is there now, with likely a few other places soon to come.

Society Of Robots - a repository of all things robotics. Step by step tutorials, articles on everything from batteries to programming techniques, forums for people to toss around ideas, and general overall help and guidance for the robot builder. This is a great site whether you are just getting into robotics or are a long standing member of the community.

The PC Weenies - web comic and blog written by the very talented Krishna Sadasivam. The comic is primarily I.T. based in humor and style, but is at just the right tech level as to be a great read for those not in the I.T. field. I even had the privilege of a guest star appearance in one of his strips which can be seen here. The irony in the comic would of course be my hatred of mobile phones.

Wil Wheaton dot NET - the personal weblog of Wil Wheaton, author of Just A Geek and Dancing Barefoot. Yes, he is also the child actor from Stand by Me and Star Trek: The Next Generation. I really should have the link pointing to WWdN: In Exile, as his primary site has been broken for quite some time, but I have hope for its return in the near future. Wil is a fantastic writer with a style that keeps me coming back for more. A must read.
